Ma Ximing held up the plaque with trembling hands and presented it to Lin Yiran.
"This is a badge passed down through the generations of the Ma family. It allows you to command anyone in the Ma family at will."
"Anyone holding this badge is the master of the Ma family!"
Ma Ximing took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and continued with a sob,
"Ma Ximing, the 12th generation head of the Ma family, presents this waist badge to General Long on behalf of the Ma family."
"I beg General Long to give the Ma family a chance to pledge allegiance..."
As he spoke, Ma Ximing knocked heavily to the ground.
Ma Chengye, who was lying on the bed and twitching, burst into tears instantly. He opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but in the end he only shouted "Ah~".
He just wanted to talk to General Long alone and didn't want his father to pray to others on his behalf.
The Ma family's waist badge had never been passed down to outsiders. No emperor in the past had ever been able to take it from the Ma family. Now, for him, his father had just handed it over...
Ma Chengye felt extremely distressed. If his survival depended on his father's humiliating plea, he would rather die...
Xiao Yunzhan and Xiao Yunhao looked at Ma Ximing in shock.
They didn't expect Ma Ximing to make such a great sacrifice for Ma Chengye.
The Ma family has been supported by the royal family for generations, but they suffered some losses at the hands of Emperor Wu of Liang.
When the Ma family was in seclusion in the early years, it was the emperor who personally invited them out of seclusion.
They had never heard of any emperor daring to ask the Ma family for a badge.
Lin Yiran glanced at Ma Chengye, watching him close his eyes tremblingly, looking as if he had lost all hope in life, and slightly pulled the corners of her lips.
Just one Ma Chengye, Ma Ximing would sacrifice himself to save the entire Ma family.
That means Ma Chengye's ability far exceeds everyone in the capital's expectations, which is why Ma Ximing had to make such a big sacrifice.
Since Ma Chengye is so powerful alone, she only needs Ma Chengye and doesn't need the Ma family.
Lin Yiran's eyes moved to the trembling Ma Ximing.
"Master Ma, what are you doing? Get up quickly."
"Since you have come to join Prince Yongchang, we are all one family."
"Although I'm not familiar with Ma Chengye, if he has something to say to me, it wouldn't hurt for me to listen."
"Why would you ask for this, Master Ma..."
As she spoke, Lin Yiran bent down, held Ma Ximing's arms with both hands, and pulled him up.
"The Ma family's badge must be passed down to the Ma family. Sir Ma, keep it well and don't take it out casually next time..."
After Lin Yiran said these words, she wanted to give herself a thumbs up.
Why did she feel that what she said was full of tea?
Ma Ximing pulled Lin Yiran up with a confused look on his face.
He glanced at Lin Yiran's hand that was pinching his arm, and his heart trembled slightly.
What a great strength.
Lin Yiran lifted him up directly, and even if he wanted to stay on his knees, he couldn't do it.
Ma Ximing looked at the badge in his hand and handed it to Lin Yiran again.
"I'm Makoto..."
"Master Ma!" Lin Yiran interrupted Ma Ximing and raised her hand to invite him out.
"Please everyone please go out and wait for a moment, leaving some time for Ma Chengye to talk..."
Ma Ximing looked at Lin Yiran in shock.
He thought Lin Yiran was just being polite to him and didn't really want the Ma family badge.
How many people in this world can resist the temptation of the Ma family badge?
You must know that there are many hidden masters in the Ma family. As long as they meet a member of the Ma family and someone takes out this badge, the Ma family must obey.
He didn't expect that Lin Yiran really rejected him instead of being polite to him.
Seeing Lin Yiran's attitude, Xiao Yunzhan immediately stepped forward and pulled Ma Ximing out.
"Let's go, let's all go out for a while and give Ma Chengye some time..."
Xiao Yunchao glanced at Lin Yiran who was standing beside Ma Chengye's bed, and put his arm around Zheng Yunyun who had red eyes.
"Wife, let's go out first. Don't worry, there shouldn't be any big problems as long as he can speak..."
Zheng Yunyun looked at Lin Yiran with a worried look on her face, fearing that Ma Chengye would bring up something difficult with Lin Yiran.
Xiao Yunchao embraced Zheng Yunyun and led her out of the room.
Xiao Yunhao glanced at Ma Chengye lying on the bed.
At this time, Ma Chengye had opened his eyes and was looking at Lin Yiran with gratitude.
Xiao Yunhao curled his lips into a slight smile and followed the crowd out.
It seems that the fourth brother's wife is planning to rescue Ma Chengye.
This guy is lucky, but I don’t know what Ma Chengye would say to Lin Yiran alone to move her to save her.
Lin Changshou was the last one to walk out of the room. He closed the door gently and then stood guard at the door like a tree stump.
